Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

I asked my fiance about this. He laughed and said we are only there for 5 night and he's spending all 5 night with me Then I talked to one of my bridesmaids and asked if my fiance could stay the night before the wedding with them, she laughed and said NO WAY MAN lol, they are only coming for the weekend and want those nights to themselves So there ya have it i guess.....
I think your FI is sweet for being old fashioned

Whoops, sorry Amy. Gets a little confusing with all us Amys round here

 

I am taking wedding party pictures before the wedding and after. I dont really want that many of just the wedding party b/c I am still mad at myself for agreeing to have BMs more than just my sister. So, after the wedding I want a lot of family shots and groups of people then just me and Mark. Here is my schedule:

 

3:30 - bride and groom first meet shots

3:45 - wedding party

4:00 - BMs with bride (then we go do any touch ups needed)

4:15 - GM shots

4:30 - wedding starts

 

5:00 - cocktail hour starts (45 min of random shots)

5:45 - Family shots

6:15 - Friend Shots

6:30 - 10-15 mins of random shots

6:40 - 7:05pm - Bride and Groom leave to take pix alone

 

7:10pm - Entrance announced to Reception

 

I am only getting announced with FI - if we do parents and wedding party it would be 1/2 the group - LOL. Plus how do you announce Mark's Mom and step Dad and my mom and step dad and my dad and his live in girlfriend?!?! hahah I would rather avoid all that weird family ness

I was only mentioning it because I know the mods do a lot of work to try and clean up the site to keep it running smoothly and out of respect for Tammy and all the hard work she does to give us a free community

I leave for Punta Cana tomorrow! I'm already in vacation mode and have a feeling that today is going to be the longest day of my life

Awww, that's really sweet!!! Maybe my FI want's time off before the life time commitment I don't blame him!

We're going to be in Mexico for 12 days so we plan on spending a good 5 of those days with guests and after the wedding we're moving to another hotel for some us time

Good point Nicole, I'm good now I promise

How exciting!! Is this for a honeymoon

I think this is an amazing plan

lol I totally was not trying to make a big deal about it

Honeymoon, sort of but not really lol. I told DH I won't have babies until I get to travel a bit, considering my wedding was my FIRST time anywhere!! So we want to enjoy our childless time as much as possible. A couple from my work was booking a last minute trip the same time as us so we figured what the hell! The more the merrier!

I checked out the DR section of the forum to see if I could help any BDW brides out while I was there, but the hotel I'm staying at must suck cause no one's getting married there! lol. Oh well, its the thought that counts right?

I feel bad for the DR brides - given whats going on in Haiti right now. I know a lot of them are planning on doing cool things like leaving clothes and supplied behind in hopes that they do really get over the border and in Haiti as promised.

I think I want to wait till after the ceremony to pics with FI...I dont really want him to see me in my dress before the ceremony

I always thought I would wait too but my sister didn't and her reasons were that they were sooooo nervous as it was, and seeing each other and talking and having a quiet moment together before the ceremony made them less nervous. Her photog prepared a staged meeting and she hid and took pictures of BIL's first seeing my sister come to meet him - away from all the guests. He got tears, it was awesome. I think I'd be too scared to cry and I know Mark would not want to cry in front of the guests either, so that's why we have chosen to do pictures together first.

My FI is the same - he just turned round and said 'i'm not seeing you the night before - I'm sleeping in with dal and you can sleep in with laurel'!! Lol nice to be told haha but was still nice to hear him so traditional he's also excited about everyone trying to keep us apart the whole day of the wedding!!

And I don't think I can cope multi quoting on my iPhone!!
